TAKATA RECALL YESTERDAY 2/05/16 I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR INC AND WAS GIVEN A CLAIM NUMBER 04437864 TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING A RENTAL TO USE UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL. A VIN SEARCH INCLUDED MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND WAS VERIFIED. I WAS ASSIGNED TO LISA (CASE MANAGER) WHO LEFT A VOICEMAIL YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER 3 FAILED ATTEMPTS TO REACH HER I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD ON MY OWN IN PICKING UP A RENTAL AND DROPPING IF MY TRUCK AT THE LOCAL DEALER RICK WOODSON HONDA. I AM NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AS LISA IS ONLY AVAILABLE M-F AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I ENTER MY VIN IT REFLECTS THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. IS THIS AN ATTEMPT AT A COVER UP OR DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG? I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN AIRBAG THAT CAUSE FATAL INJURY. WHAT DO I DO NOW? -[XXX] NO REVIEW OF CARFAX AVAILABLE 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SUNROOF WAS OPEN IN TILT POSITION AND IT SHATTERED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF APPROX. 50 MPH. IT MADE A VERY LOUD SOUND. LOUD, LIKE A GUN SHOT SOUND. FORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T MAKE ME SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR INTO THE ONCOMING LANE (IF THERE HAD BEEN AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AT THE TIME, COULD HAVE CAUSED A COLLISION) IT WAS VERY STARTLING. I WAS SHOWERED WITH SPLINTERED GLASS. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE GLASS COLLIDED WITH ANYTHING TO MAKE IT BREAK. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS REASON FOR THE GLASS TO SHATTER. THE CONCERN IS THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A DEFECT IN THE GLASS. CONDITIONS:THE TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS IN THE HIGH 80'S TO 90 DEGREES. I ALSO HAD THE REAR WINDOW OPENED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ONE DAY I WAS USING THE A/C AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER MY WORK SHIFT I TRIED TO KICK ON THE A/C SYSTEM AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE SCREEN INDICATES THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING, HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THE FAN DIAL ON FULL. NOTHING IS FLOWING THROUGH THE VENTS. I HAD THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK AND THEY TOLD ME THE HARNESS WAS FRIED AND THAT IT WOULD BE $900 TO FIX IT, WHEN MY CAR PAYMENT IS $600. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE IN 2006 AND 2007 MODELS AND RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR BOTH YEARS. I ASKED THEM WHY HAS THE PROBLEM NOT BEEN FIXED BEFORE THE 2008 MODELS WERE RELEASED. THEY TOLD ME TO ASK HONDA... THIS IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT. HOW DOES A KNOWN PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS MODELS NOT BEEN FIXED BEFORE THE RELEASE OF FUTURE MODELS AND WHY HASN'T HONDA TAKEN TIME TO RECALL THE TRUCKS OR OFFER A FREE FIX. *TR
